Historical swordfighting never ceases to be interesting,and as such,I checked out hellish quart . The rapier is a superior duel weapon that's reflected in the game,and I wanted to experiment if there was a strategy from real life references that would even the playing field a bit. Here's what I found.

Hey Mr. Marwood, so I know you have an interest in all things swords and a bit of HEMA, so I thought you might like to see this game about sword dueling which is kind of realistic

This clip turned up a couple of days ago as part of a "you liked that, so you might like this" selection, and since then there have been a lot more clips, reactions etc.
The game reminds me - and others mention it - of “Bushido Blade” for the old Playstation that might still be in the attic, though “Hellish Quart” runs on Windows 7, and since I’ve just recently moved from W-8 to W-10 I don’t know if it would work on my machine even if I played games much these days (which I don’t.)
*****
NB, it’s not MARwood but MORwood (like on the username) despite a flub in the 1911 census which made tracking down that document more awkward than expected:
My Grandad didn’t fill this in himself, and the enumerator who did must have mis-heard and consequently mis-spelled the name. His handwriting differs from the 1901 census, which Grandad DID fill in and sign:
Grandad’s only contribution to the 1911 one was just a witnessed Mark.
Even his job had changed. In 1901 he was a saddler and harness-maker (skilled work):
... while in 1911 he was a farm labourer (unskilled work):
My Mum told me he was a saddler (again) when she was a young woman between the wars, so this small dry piece of history may record a hand-injury of some sort that prevented him from practicing his trade until it healed.
At this end of time, I can only guess.
As for the Morwood / Marwood thing, it’s a family joke that predated the census error and hung around (cough) right through to my youth, all because of this character:
As the saying went, “If Pa killed Ma, who’d kill Pa? Marwood...”
I had an Uncle William - you can see him in the census - whose life at school must have been a lot of fun. I can imagine what it was like, because whenever I complained about having to wear a tie with my school uniform or anything else, I bet I was hearing the same comments...
:-P
